Transformational retreats, an eco-chic boutique hotel, and a vibrant community supporting your journey into joy, embodiment, and belonging.
Where queer SOULS SHINE
AS SEEN ON








From FEELING DIM
Qasa participants have been:
- Hiding parts of themselves to feel safe
- Letting shame, fear, or disconnection dim their light
- Living life on emotional low-volume and stuck in their head
- Questioning their worth, belonging, or right to take up space
- Feeling cut off from their body, community, and the natural world
To SHINING bright
After Qasa, people often:
- Stand unapologetically in their truth and sovereignty
- Reawaken their body’s delight of pleasure, purpose, and play
- Feel grounded, alive, and deeply at home in their own skin
- Tap into the magic of community as a mirror for healing and growth
- Sparkle with confidence, creative expression, connection, and queer joy
Qasa programs are non-medical and we do not diagnose or treat any conditions.
They are designed for personal, professional and spiritual development.
Our Mission
Our mission is to co-create a world where queer joy is not an indulgence, but a birthright.
Through immersive retreats, a nature-rooted boutique hotel, and lifelong community, we help queer people reconnect with their full selves – feeling free in their bodies, alive in their joy, and knowing they belong.

Our Values
We lead with authenticity and joy
We embrace our queerness and lead with play, celebration, and heart - integrating mind, body, and spirit in how we live and lead.
We act with integrity and honesty
We align our actions with our ethics — even when it’s hard. We hold ourselves and each other accountable with humility and care.
We cultivate safety and trust
We create a trauma-informed, consent-based space that honors boundaries, invites vulnerability, and centers wellbeing for all.
We feel and experience this moment
We listen to our bodies, feel fully, and show up authentically — reclaiming self-love, inner wisdom, and the knowing that we are enough.
We grow together with open minds and hearts
We embrace lifelong learning and compassionate communication — building a thriving, co-created culture of growth and shared impact.
